Big Ball In Boston Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town 

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down 

The birthplace of our nation is Boston so they say 

They try to keep it as it was but it's changing every day 

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town 

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down 

The Red Coats, they were comin', their cloth was made of tweed 

Some say their shirts were button down 

(The tradition is Ivy League) 

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town 

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down 

We met a chap from Harvard, very slim and pale 

The last time that we saw him he was dancing with a cat from Yale 

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town 

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down 

And just a mile from Harvard's a campus you should see 

M I C K E Y M O U S E 

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town 

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down 

The folks who come from Boston are said to be quite dated. 

So whadda ya have to say, my friend? 

Well, uh, Bobby and Teddy and I made it 

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town 

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down
